The lighting industry is targeted by the Internet of Things because of the ubiquity of the product. If lighting is everywhere then where else should the IoT data harvesters be other than piggy-backed onto it? But, most crucially, the real question that remains unanswered about the IoT is ‘What Happens Next?’ On Wednesday 26 October at 1pm BST, Lux Review will be hosting a webinar on the topic: IoT and Lighting: why this revolution will change everything.

This webinar will provide an introduction to the way that the ‘connected world’ of the Internet of Things (IoT) creates cost gains over and above the core benefits of individual environmental systems. Connected systems interact one with another via the data harvesting software that analyses real-time building conditions, and feeds cross-platform information back into a building’s controls network. It is these synergistic relationships that shift project cost planning beyond the conventional Return On Investment (ROI) calculations to offer gains not available to building management previously. The webinar will analyse the new terminology and highlight the system goals that enables us to look beyond traditional ROI targets.

We keep hearing about connected lighting systems and their benefits, but wireless commissioning is still a mystery to many. Commissioning remains one of the biggest challenges - and perhaps even taboos - of wireless environment. Different communication protocols require different approaches. In this webinar we will dive deep into the commissioning process, comparing how wired and wireless systems deal with it, while also discussing whether it’s possible to improve the wireless commissioning experience.
